Today was really a trial for me. I was hoping for a good day at work, but it took a turn very early. My sales were super in the negative. My sister called before my first break. My sister never calls in the daytime, so I was worried. I called her back to receive news that my step-cousin (?) passed away yesterday. He had gotten either high or very drunk and passed out. He aspirated in his sleep. His 7 year old brother found him the next afternoon. I wasn't all that close to him, but his mother is one of the most wonderful people I have ever met. She suffered through the very sudden death of her first husband and was raising 5 boys on her own. She and my Uncle Bill got married several years ago and literally had a Yours, Mine and Ours situation. The Boy who died was Connie's 3rd son. He has a history of substance abuse, but was back living at home getting things together. My heart just breaks for Connie and it just makes me so sad. I'm really just in a poor state of mind.
